practice
"True faith is a living fire that transforms and purifies; if a belief brings fear or sorrow, abandon it as mere superstition."
According to Osho, prevent faith from becoming blind by testing it within yourself: true faith is a living fire that purifies and transforms—bringing joy, clarity, fearlessness, compassion, and growth. Ignore the object or outer ‘proofs’; watch the results in your being. If a belief breeds inertia, fear, hatred, sorrow, or shrinks your aliveness, abandon it as superstition.
Why this matters practically
- Gives a personal test to avoid superstition and harmful followings.
- Redirects focus from external authorities to inner transformation and growth.
- Helps choose teachers and practices that make you kinder, braver, and more alive.
